Rant on the Stage.
From Te.rus Stftings.

FROM Ie'CuS oDttH9S.
The rant of the stage is thing that can never
be done away with, we suppose, although it is
not INDUCED in to the extent that it once was.
There is room for Improvement still however.
We were speaking to friend the other day,
respecting the merits of a celebrated TRACE
diam when he had occasion to comment on
the rant of the stage-the loud mCuthing, the
outrageous gesture, the furious rolling of the
eyes, the stride, swords that rattle in the hilt,
and all the pomp and circumstance of the mod
ern drama.
Fancy this style carried into real life. On be-
ing introduced to a lady You would say, throw
ing yourself into a splendid attitude:
Most gracious madame, on my knees greet
thee, y impressively placing your right hand on
your heart.
To a creditor who would not pay Fraudulent
knave! payeSt thou me noty BY yonder sun that
blazeth in the zenith, thee will sue, and thou
shalt see thy impious name flaming the streets
on posters hugel"

hopes, those beans are royal Were | Jupiter,
beans should grace each royal banquet. What

To your wife-Madam, beware thou dos't ex-
cite me not; else being too hot with wrath, | do
myself some harm. \ needle here a button on
my shirt--and see it instantly performed Dc
it! Norsleave the task to me-

er of bovines, send me some mutton and some
beef; and mark you! let it be tenderer than
love and Sweeter than the bees rare burden.
would dine to-day"
To a Friend-''E Excuse a rash intrusion on
your grace, but hast thou in thy vest pocket a
port ON of that plant, ranked by the botaniSt
among the genus ncotiana?" or, Most noble
friend, wilt thou take with me some strong
lbation' Thou lookest duh to day; twill cheer

Reply-"O, noble soul! alas, not all the wine
of Baccbanalian revelS could ease the sorrow
here-here! LEFT breast struck several times,
Oh, what fool and arrant knave am |, the very
sport of fortune"
This is scarcely more ridiculous than three
quarters of the stage nonsense.

Trees the Remedy.

A gentleman now nearly 20 years old
writes to the MORNING NEWS on the sub
ject of the recent floods that caused so much
destruction in this State. He says that
when he was boy the water courses We're
periodically overhowed, but that very little
damage was done. The floods did not then
extend as far into the country as they do
now, and they subsidized much more quickly
His observations through long series Of
years have convinced him that the reason
why the floods of the present are greater
and more destructive than those of the
past is because the trees that once
lined the banks Of the streams have,
in large measure, been cut away. He in
stances a creek which flows through tract
of land owned by him. When he was a boy
that creek was bold stream, amply able to
carry off the rains without serious injury to
crops and bridges. AS he grew older the
trees on the banks, almost from the source
to the mouth, were gradually cut away
The rains washed the dirt from the neigh
boring fields into the bed of the creek,
eventually filling it. To-day, in ordinary
weather. the water is very shallow, and
uui ing pcIlOelS VI uIuLSHG III ulIiloot eiLIllcIJ
dries up When there are heavy rains the
creek is unable to carry off the water rap
idly enough, and the result is that disastrous
overtlows take place, greatly injuring crops
and bridges.
1t is generally conceded that the theory
of this gentleman is correct The removal
of the trees along the water courses gives
the rains easy opportunity to wash
the dirt from the fields into the beds, thus
making them shallow. Therefore, when
the rains are uncommonly heavy and pro-
longed, the water spreads out over the ada
cent country instead of flowing out to the
sea-
To remedy the trouble recently expert
enced with floods and eventually to prevent
its repetition two things must be done: The
trees still standing on the banks of our
streams must be let alone and in the
denuded places young trees must be planted
Unless this remedy is adopted it will
cease to be profitable to cultivate some of
the most fertile lands in the countryside
lowlandS along the streams.
Within comparatively few years large
part of the forest of the valley of the Savan-
nah river has been removed, and the de
structiveneSs of the floods of the river has
increased in proportion to the removal of
the forests. If the removal of the forests
continues and the lands are left bare will
not rice planting along the Savannah river
soon have to be abandoned!

Mr.. Michael L. Woods, of Alabama. de-
clares that Secretary Lamar is not to be
appointed to the vacancy on the bench of
the United States Supreme Court, but that
Judge Edward w. Pettus, of Alabama. is TO
he the fortunate man. Mr.. Woods said to
the Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald the other day: "You can say
without fear of contradiction that the
President considers Lamar his chief coun-
sellor, and on that account he will not give
him up. ! am Of the opinion that Judge
Pettus viii receive the appointment, and he
is man who will be credit to the State
and bench, and prove once more President
Cleveland's good Judgment in the matter Of
selections for responsible positions" Mr..
Woods may be correct, but the signs don't
look that way.

The pass system accommodates good
many people in England 1t used to accom-

since the passage of the interstate COM

members of Congress and State Legisla-

of the New York World, writing from Lon

that the English railways have to bear the
onerous task in the way of furnishing free
transportation to prominent individuals

United States before the passage of the in

railroad official the other day that all of the
royalties travel free, and that they expect

royalties have also been furnished free
